It’s in-car entertainment made easier, smarter ... It’s Clarion’s 2005 Mobile Multimedia Line

In the front seat, a safe and comfortable ride is assured thanks to an in-car navigation system. In the rear seat, passengers are watching a movie and playing video games on an overhead or headrest-mounted monitor. Introducing Clarion’s 2005 Mobile Multimedia line. We’ve got all-in-one overhead monitors with built-in DVD players. We’re also the only mobile entertainment company to offer overhead monitors equipped with Picture In Picture and Split Screen viewing. New to Clarion is a transportable Navigation In-Car Entertainment system, which we dubbed N.I.C.E. Give it a try and you’ll see why the acronym fits so well. Clarion also answers the cries of iPod fans around the world with the introduction of the all-new VRX755VD, which allows for seamless control over Apple’s music player. But there’s so much more to talk about. To put it simply, this is a driving experience you don't want to miss. Because at Clarion. we really have thought of it all.

Touch Control

For state-of-the-art control, Clarion equips its VRX755VD in-dash, flipout monitor with touch-screen management of all features and functions, as well as CeNET-equipped Clarion components. Flip through menus, or engage a sound-enhancement feature with a simple press of the unit’s high-resolution screen. And so your VRX755VD can maintain a clean, clear image, Clarion treats the display screen to resist dust and grime. This is high-tech innovation made smart.

5.1-Channel Dolby Digital/dts Surround

There’s nothing like listening to your favorite movie or CD in true 5.1- channel surround. That’s why Clarion offers a 5.1-channel-ready multimedia station with its VRX755VD. With the addition of Clarion’s DVH940 5.1-channel processor, one’s mobile audio system can achieve Dolby Digital and dts sound decoding. So transform your listening experience into sound that literally comes to life, and get the dynamic sound field of a movie theater, and the subtle nuances and wide dynamic ranges of discrete soundtracks contained in your favorite DVD video.

2 Zone Entertainment

Clarion’s 2 Zone Entertainment feature is going further in 2005, offering SUV and mini van owners more flexibility when it comes to their mobile entertainment system. Now, owners of Clarion’s VRX755VD get more front-seat listening options while rear-seat passengers watch and listen to a DVD movie via wireless headphones. So, plug in an iPod, switch on Sirius Satellite Radio, or listen to a CD, the radio, or any CeNET-equipped audio source. This is versatility where you need it most … in the car.

All-In-One Rear-Seat Entertainment Solution

There’s nothing like an overhead, flipdown monitor equipped with a built-in DVD player. This in-demand, all-in-one solution is not only user friendly, but installer friendly as well. Clarion’s 2005 rear-seat entertainment line includes two such solutions: the new OHMD102, a 10.2-inch overhead, flip-down monitor, and the seven-inch OHMD74. Both offer DVD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback. This is entertainment made easy.

Now Playing … A Double Feature

Get two monitors in one with Clarion’s Split Screen and Picture In Picture technologies. Found exclusively in Clarion’s OHM102 and OHM153 overhead, flip-down monitors, these two features allow rear-seat passengers to enjoy a DVD movie while playing a video game at the same time. Clarion takes this innovation a step further by outfitting these two rearseat entertainment solutions with Dual IR Audio Output technology. This allows users to access two separate audio sources directly from the two included wireless headphones. For unparalleled flexibility, give Split Screen and Picture In Picture viewing a try with Clarion’s OHM102 and OHM153.

CeNET Technology

When you invest in a CeNET-equipped source unit, you’re investing in a unit that will grow with you. Developed by Clarion, CeNET is a component connection system crafted for plug and play system upgrades. This means that owners of Clarion’s new VRX755VD get total control over Clarion’s 5.1- channel surround sound processor, TV Tuner, CD and DVD changer. The benefits don’t stop there, either, as CeNET-equipped components aren’t hampered by noise generated by the transfer of control signals. So, get hooked up with Clarion’s CeNET control system.

Half-DIN Center-Channel Speaker

There’s nothing like Clarion’s in-dash center-channel speaker solution. No other car audio maker can claim the installation flexibility the SRK5 offers. Roughly the size of an in-dash equalizer, the SRK5 is perfect for half-DIN and single-DIN applications. Simply put, this is the easiest in-dash solution for achieving 5.1-channel surround. Best of all, this speaker package, which includes five 3/4-inch fullrange speakers and two 1-inch, rearmounted, mid-bass reinforcement speakers, doesn’t require an external amplifier. Why? It comes with one … a 50-watt amplifier to be exact.

iPod Control

Clarion gets “Podified” in 2005 with its first in-dash monitor and DVD player combination to offer a fully integrated iPod user interface. In-car iPod solutions are nothing new. Several companies have tried it, but no one has perfected it quite like Clarion’s touch-screen-capable VRX755VD. With its iPod-like onscreen layout and information screen, users will forget their iPod is safely stowed away. Best of all, this dedicated iPod solution won’t sacrifice additional audio sources.

Fully Motorized Screens

With the touch of a button, Clarion brings multimedia to life with its fully motorized flip-out monitors. Equipped with variable screen positioning for optimal viewing, this unit provides users with the ability to adjust the angle of the screen, and the distance from the screen to the dashboard. Clarion’s motorized screens also feature non-volatile memory, allowing them to retain prior settings.

High Resolution LCD Screens

Utilizing the latest in active matrix LCD technology, Clarion’s mobile video screens offer the most vibrant, most detailed images available today. Clarion takes this a step further by outfitting its motorized monitors with off-axis viewing.

Got Video … Got Options

Playing a DVD or video game is one thing, but have you ever thought of being able to watch the day’s recorded events on the family camcorder or digital camera? Clarion has. Aside from the additional video inputs equipping its rear-seat mobile video line, Clarion‘s offers users a convenient Game Port that can be installed virtually anywhere inside the vehicle. This means you can plug in that DVD, and still have the ability to connect a gaming unit, digital camera or camcorder.
